Improving The Community One Project At A Time” PO Box 117 -  Alderson W Va.  24910 Made with Xara © Alderson Main Street 2013 ALDERSON MAIN STREET AGENDA Greetings! Welcome! Did you bring a friend? The new year began in November, 2009 for Alderson Main Street and your $15 dues are “due” again! Your dues go into the general fund for projects we support and are an important source of revenue. They entitle you to be a voting member of the organization, attend Chamber of Commerce events, and work hard. What a bargain! If you are not sure if you have paid or not, check with Dana or just pay twice—we will appreciate it. Thank you! Three Cheers!!! • For the July 4th Committee and all its members and others who work so hard to put on an outstanding celebration in Alderson! • For all those Main Street members and family who helped with the Ice Cream Social—and those who contributed funds. • For the Mayor and others who take the flags off the bridge and everyone who helps clean up after the celebration • For the women from the Federal Prison Camp who cleaned before and after the holiday • For Judy and Luther Lewallen who water the flower baskets • For the Hollowell Foundation and the Marie Leist Foundation, each of whom gave us $2000 toward our grant match for the Depot roof.
